Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

Chapter 13: Night Around the Hearth·Act 2 (5) (page 13)

"Furthermore, Mr. Undercover's target will also be me, because he knows that Miss Wizard's belief in killing me is firm and unshakable - even if she knows that Ryland is most likely to be an undercover, for the sake of that small possibility, she will not Leland will be spared.”

Lucius said amusedly.

"So I really don't understand. Miss Smith seemed to have lived on thin ice during her teenage years. Why did her score in life skills like cooking be close to zero?"

Aecilia looked up at the sky leisurely and let out a long sigh.

Lucius blinked and looked at her. After a while, he decided to continue:

"You can't vote today, so in order to get the best result, we need to start with Miss Smith."

"Can I believe you, Mr. Medicine Master? If you are eliminated today, the wizard will kill Leyland tonight, and tomorrow there will be only me and the wizard left on the field, and I will win. And today, Miss Wizard will contact Leyland De, you know Leyland, and he will know you the same.”

Aicilia pinched a rose next to her out of boredom, used her palms to tear off all the petals, held them in her hands, and looked at him with light eyes.

Lucius couldn't help but stare at her again. He was silent for a while and said:

"None of this matters, I just want to ask you a question now."

Aecilia crushed the petals, let the bright-colored juice flow in her palms, and replied casually:

"Just ask."

So Lucius asked seriously:

"Do you have multiple personality disorder?"

Aecilia raised her head. This time, it was Aecilia's turn to stare at Lucius.

The sun shines on the huge stained glass windows of the church, reflecting the brilliant refracted light.

Orange, green, and red light intertwined and slowly rotated on the wizard's face. She looked at Ryland unblinkingly:

"Tell me why you threw yourself at the pharmacist."

Leland, who was sitting on the prayer chair, smiled gently, and his clear and refreshing temperament was set off by the mysterious colors in the church.

He said: "Because you can only throw in pharmacists, right? It doesn't matter who I kill first. I prefer to get a stable result, and I guess the same is true for you."

Smith looked at him coldly and said:

"Even if you cast the medicine man as you wish, you will die at night."

Ryland tilted his head indifferently, the corners of his eyes and mouth raised at the same time:

"It doesn't matter. I made a mistake in the first step. Losing is the inevitable outcome. I just don't want Medicine Master to live a happy life."

The wizard took a deep look at the undercover agent and finally said:

"Then, as you wish."

She put down her hand from the dagger and turned around without any delay, causing a gust of breeze to blow. The black hair that fell straight down her side was blown slightly by the gust of wind.

Smith quickly left the church.

When passing the perfume factory, she was stopped by Lucius, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Hi, Miss Smith, we meet again."

Lucius spoke casually, but carefully observed her expression:

"Leland has told you that I am a mortal?"

Smith looked at him with a strange look and said:

"You are the medicine man."

Lucius's eyes widened in surprise:

"Is that what he told you?"

Smith's tone was slightly impatient:

"He doesn't need to tell me."

Lucius looked at her hesitantly for a while, and finally smiled:

"Okay, that's not bad. Then remember to vote for me this afternoon?"

Before she could answer, Lucius left happily, leaving Smith alone and rubbing his brows.

Invigilator 036, who had witnessed the plot in the entire examination room gradually getting ridiculous, finished the cold drink given to him by his kind colleague, looked at Lucius's young and frivolous face through the examination room surveillance camera, and sighed.

The wind was clear at night, and when he noticed who was approaching, he made no additional moves and allowed the other person to put his hand on his shoulder:

"Are you still invigilating the exam? I just took a break. This is..."

The other party came forward to take a closer look at the surveillance screen. 036 breathed into his ear:

"When will my Potions class notes be returned to me?"

The other party's body froze visibly. After a while, the man said sarcastically:

"I've just finished copying a small part of it. I'm a little busy these days. How about I return it to you before school starts?"

036 said calmly:

"Okay, more money."

The other party said in disbelief:

"With our friendship, do we still need to talk about these vulgar things?"

"Leven Asceptin."

036 broke away the hand that was pressing on her shoulder, patted her wrinkled uniform, and said:

"If you continue to try to get my sister and your brother to pretend to be husband and wife while playing house, then our lifelong friendship will no longer work in front of me."

Levin Asceptin said angrily:

"I only suggested it once when they first played house together! It was Charles Auceptin who had been trying to get your sister to play husband and wife with him!"

036 slapped away his hand that tried to press it up again, and said in a deep voice:

"Take care of Charles and let him learn to focus at the age when he should study hard."

Aecilia regretfully returned to the kitchen on the first floor of the castle to prepare lunch. She was almost about to break the rules and blow the head of a blue-haired idiot. Fortunately, at the critical moment, she remembered that the invigilator reminded her before the exam started that the copy could not be used. He used force to barely keep his exam spot.

When the time came, Miss Smith and Mr. Leyland walked into the dining area almost without distinction, and Lucius, who finally arrived, was a full ten minutes late.

"Do you want to take a lunch break later? Or should you just go upstairs and play cards?"

Aecilia asked casually.

None of these people look like they need to find remnants of past events.

Miss Smith said that she was not sleepy and anything was fine. Before Ryland could speak, Lucius raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"Go upstairs first. I just found three fragments of old events, and I want you all to see them."

"You have collected all the fragments we did not find today."

Rylander joked with a slight smile.

After several people finished their meal, Lucius finished washing the dishes and hurriedly opened the way ahead, welcoming the three of them into the tea room. Then he slammed the door and took three old photos with a faint blue light on the table. .

Ryland watched his expression and knew he wasn't done yet. Sure enough, Lucius deliberately stalled for time and didn't let everyone see it first. Instead, he paused for a while and then turned the front of the old fragment to Smith.

"I'll show it to Miss Wizard first."

he said with a playful smile.

Ryland crossed his arms, Aecilia made tea and waited beside her in cooperation, and Miss Smith picked up the fragments of past events with an expressionless face.

After only watching it for a few seconds, she passed the fragment to the undercover gentleman next to her without changing her expression.

Undercover Mr. Ryland also took a look, showing a helpless expression of "I knew it". He raised his head and glanced at Lucius with an unclear meaning, and then passed the fragment to Aecilia.
